Thoughts on Thomas Whitney of Westminster
by Robert L. Ward
26 June 2004
The Entail
Sir James Whitney of Whitney specified in his 1587 will that all his lands were to go the following, or their male line heirs, in this order:
- 1. brother Eustace Whitney
- 2. uncle George Whitney
- 3. uncle William Whitney
- 4. Thomas Whitney of Clyro
- 5. Thomas Whitney of Castleton
- 6. Richard Whitney, brother of the last
- 7. James Whitney of Clifford
- 8. Francis Whitney of London
- 9. Eustace Whitney of Clifford
- 10. Queen Elizabeth
These were his male-line Whitney relatives in the order of brother, uncles, second cousins, and possibly third cousins. He definitely wanted to keep the lands in the hands of some relative named Whitney!
Notice the brothers Thomas Whitney of Castleton and Richard Whitney! I propose that this is Thomas Whitney of Westminster and his brother Richard.
